No measurement of the coals was attempted, owing to the character of 

 the exposures. The interval between Nos. 4 and 6 includes the gray 

 limestone, slabs of which were seen about ten feet above No. 4. 



On Waukatomaka Creek Coal No. 4 was formerly worked. It is there 

 a cannel two feet thick, as measured at the outcrop, the opening having 

 fallen in. The section there is :

The concealed portion includes the flint and blue limestone which are 

 seen in the road a mile farther up the creek. At its base is a thin coal 

 four inches thick, not satisfactorily shown in the section, but well ex- 

 posed at two points farther down the creek. This is Coal No. 2. Coal 

 No. 3 was nowhere observed. Coal No. 6 is worked near Adams's Mills, 

 in the north-eastern portion of the township, and is there four feet thick.
